My feedback

Thanks for writing in! This is an odd behavior we just spotted as well and are investigating as we speak. Please bear with us until we come up with a solution that fixes it, we'll get back to you as soon as we solved it.

If you wish to use the exporting feature, you can also sign up for a $9/month plan and downgrade back to free after the upgrade so you ensure your plan does not auto renew itself. This way you'll have the premium features active for 30 days. For more info please drop us a line at support@moqups.com

Thanks a lot for your feedback. We're still tuning up the UI for the new release so all the suggestions are welcome.

- The vertical menu bar may occupy a bit more space now, but the advantage is that you can collapse the panels by clicking their corresponding icons while they are visible, so you gain even more space.
- We are planning to add a lot more sets of icons, so we thought it's worth having them as first class citizens in the new release. Mixing them with the existing and future stencils would've crowded up the UI.
- Agreed - the stencil order is a bit off right now, but we're planning to fix this in the upcoming week.

1. Agreed. One workaround for now would be to quickly group both the stencil and the hotspot (CTRL+G) so they will be deleted together. The upcoming release allows resizable groups, so this would work wonders.The other option is to use object linking instead of hotspots, as they pretty much behave as you described https://moqups.com/help/links-and-hotspots/

2. Agreed - we'll keep this in mind for the new release

3. We've been fiddling with the infrastructure lately, again, for upgrading the servers for the new release which seems to have caused some sessions being lost, resulting in users logging out inadvertently. We're really sorry about that, hopefully it was a momentary glitch.

4. Same as 3, but we'll investigate further. The new Moqups will have a brand new synchronization mechanism, more stable in case of race conditions typically occurring while collaborating in real time.

5. The new release allows setting default styles. In the future we'll also add stored styles so one can simply apply pre-existing themes.

This is a great idea - thanks for your suggestions. We're just implementing a new REST API so this can probably be easily implemented in the new API. Perhaps it's also worth changing the default behaviour as well.

The popover page manager is now back in its initial position (since yesterday) with some slight changes. We call it "the mini navigator".

The new sidebar panel, even if it now looks a tad redundant, will to allow more advanced operations (search, masters, multiple selection operations, locking etc) - in general stuff that's hard to accomplish in a squeezed popover UI.

Please keep your ideas coming - we're looking at tuning this UI to a point where there are as few compromises as possible.

We've been exploring the idea of embedding project data inside exported PDFs and PNGs, similarly to what Adobe products are doing ("Preserve Photoshop Editing Capabilities"), so that eventually you will be able to import the files back into the app.

Most likely yes - the idea is that we have a ton of integration ideas (e.g. Trello, GitHub) that we'll most likely be unable to cover ourselves, so we're letting our users create their own implementations :-)
